I have the latest K-Lite Codec Mega Pack, and use Media Player Classic.
My FZ has a T7100 and a 8400GM I think.
When playing Divx movies when there is high action there is a sort of flicker on the screen. When playing back on HDMI this is even worse.
Any solutions?

Have you tried downloading VLC media player and using that do see if its a codec issue?

From research i'm sure its a FFD Show + Vista issue.
What does VLC use to decode? -
Not sure, but it does the following codecs:

Have you tried playing the video using VLC ? -
will remove FFD Show, and install VLC and let you know the outcome!

Still flickers - any ideas?
-
anyone?
i've done the FFDShow thing, and the VLC player - but it's made no difference. -
Did you try the DivX player?
-
Yes.
I think it could possibly be a Direct X issue?
Help appreciated. -
I haven't had any probs with DivX movies in my FZ with the same specs.

Same here, no trouble at all with DIVX movies.
Try ditching the codec pack and Media player classis. Totally uninstall BOTH of them. Then try VLC and the DIVX player. Neither of these require the CODEC pack and there have been reports of issues with it.
If you still have trouble go ahead and uninstall both VLC and DIVX player and reinstall them. I am suggesting this last bit so that the registry gets purged of all traces of the codec pack.
Also two questions:
1. What else is running when this occurs? Is there some other app(s) going?
2. Are these STREAMED files or are you playing files from the hard drive?
